Title: Eddy current inspection device, eddy current inspection probe, and eddy current inspection method
Inventor: ENDO HISASHI
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 2013-03-04
Abstract: Provided is an eddy current inspection device, an eddy current inspection probe and an eddy current inspection method that make it possible to detect defects existing in deeper parts of test objects. Three or more odd number of excitation coils are arranged at even intervals in a circumferential direction on a postulated circumference.  Excitation currents applied to the excitation coils are controlled so that the phase difference between excitation currents applied to adjacent ones of the excitation coils arranged in the circumferential direction on the postulated circumference equals one cycle divided by the number of excitation coils. A magnetic field generated according to an eddy current occurring in the test object due to a magnetic field caused by the application of the excitation currents to the excitation coils is detected by use of a detector arranged on a postulated plane containing the postulated circumference but inside the postulated circumference.

Abstract: Structural members having enhanced load bearing capacity per unit mass include a skeleton structure formed from strips of material. Notches may be placed on the strips and a weave of tensile material placed in the notches and woven around the skeleton structure. At least one pair of structural members can be jointed together to provide very strong joints due to weave patterns of tensile material, such as Kevlar, that distributes stress throughout the structure, preventing stress from concentrating in one area. Methods of manufacturing such structural members include molding material into skeletons of desired cross section using a matrix of molding segments. Total catastrophic failures in composite materials are substantially avoided and the strength to weight ratio of structures can be increased.

Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting an email message from a sender to a selected recipient, the selected recipient capable of receiving only email messages compliant with American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). However, one or more of the sender or other recipients have a non-ASCII email address. Accordingly, mapped ASCII email addresses are created for each of the non-ASCII email addresses as follows. A username is generated as a mapping of the non-ASCII email address using a predefined mapping algorithm. A domain name is selected from one or more predefined domain names, each of the domain names configured to resolve to a predefined gateway server. The username is concatenated with the domain name to create the mapped ASCII email address. Then, the non- ASCII email addresses is replaced with the mapped ASCII email address and the email message is sent to the selected recipient. A gateway server and computer-readable medium configured to implement the method described above are also provided.

Abstract: This publication discloses a harbour plant (10) for storage, loading and unloading of hydrocarbon products at sea, comprising a number of units (9) being mutually placed on the seabed so that a harbour plant is formed. The units (9) are placed independently at a given distance apart in sideways direction and having a front surface along which a vessel is intended to be moored, forming passage(s) for parts of the waves, and being configured to dampen a part of the incoming waves while allowing other parts of the waves and current to pass through the harbour plant. The sideways distances between two neighbouring units (9) is governed by the frequency of the waves to be dampened and the frequencies of the waves allowed to pass in between the units (9). The front surface of one of the units (9) is offset with a distance relative to the front surfaces of two neighbouring in a traverse direction away from said incoming waves, and/or that the units are configured in such way that the width of the passage between two neighbouring units increases or decreases in direction of the wave motion.

IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 2013-03-13
Abstract: Negative pressure wound therapy apparatuses and dressings, and systems and methods for operating such apparatuses for use with dressings are disclosed. In some embodiments, controlling the delivery of therapy can be based on monitoring and detecting various operating conditions. An apparatus can have a controller configured to monitor a duty cycle of a source of negative pressure. Based on the monitored duty cycle, the controller can determine whether a leak is present and provide an indication to a user. The controller can determine a duty cycle threshold in order to achieve an optimal or near optimal balance between an uninterrupted delivery of therapy, avoidance inconveniencing a user, conserving power, achieving optimal or near optimal efficiency, and/or limiting vibrational noise. In some embodiments, the duty cycle threshold is determined based at least in part on a capacity of a power source and an operational time of the apparatus.
